The piece cites unnamed sources who say that the pair "plans to announce a 20-stadium US tour that will start in late June — and that it’s possible the couple could perform in New York on July 4" (!) We're taking it with a grain of salt, but with all the surprise album drops and surprise stage appearances, a surprise Mr. and Mrs. Carter tour isn't too far from the realm of possibility.
